Peat cutter

Again, that is its function, but that isn't its name.

 

[Owen Bawn]

Slane?

Nope.

I believe it's spelled, "slean".

Sorry.

I’ve always wanted to visit Ireland! Do my tickets come in the mail or do I need to get online and fill something out?

My Gradmother would be so ashamed of me with my lack of Irish Gaelic. I can now only remember the words used when I was scolded. Ha
I knew it was a peat cutter.

At first glance I thought a trowel but the teeth are more like a saw. Anyone?
